It’s taken me a bit to sift through all my pictures and notes from Masion & Objet, but I was finally able to pick out my favorites and post Part 2!
More Inspiring Companies:
Neo was all about using unique material to create interesting woven structures. They wove accessories – from handbags to pillows – out of Neoprene! The material gave such a wonderful dimension to the plain weave construction.
Poemo’s felt cutout rugs drew me into their booth… so fun and whimsical!
Stacks of digitally printed linen pillows and bags filled their display. The beautiful, saturated colors caught my eye. I was intrigued by the way he was manipulating the images to create something new.
I love the idea of embedding textiles in materials that show off the texture of the fabric and create new applications for the piece. Acrila, had some fun furniture that reflected this treatment.
Tense it, had new twists on the idea of wallpaper with it’s custom wall art printed on canvas. This technique really enables you to create a unique space!
Beautiful hand woven, knotted, tufted, machine and custom rugs from the UK. They had luscious loop tufted rugs made out of poly rope yarn with a metallic sheen.
Gervasoni, a home accessories company, had a wonderful pillow encased in chartreuse crocheted net, and a variety of product made out of natural materials constructed in new, exciting ways for decorating the home.
Within the section, “The Color Patch Gallery”, Christian Zuznaga displayed his color block digital printed fabric on upholstered couches and chairs. I love the exaggerated,blown up pixelation of this print!
There you have it! It was my first time ever walking Maison & Objet and I found it to be one of the most inspirational shows for home accessories. These were just a few of the many innovative companies that I saw, I’m sure I missed some as I traveled through the massive show halls. If you noticed any that I overlooked please let me know, I’d love to blog about them!

Maegan, this was such fun to see and read. I was especially interested in the Zuznaga color block digital printed fabric — remember when I asked you how to do that last winter? I never did find out, but would still really like to know. Maybe your blog-world friends might have an idea. It seems like an ideal method to customize interiors, as well as create unique commercial design elements.
